Mobility of the future is an extraordinarily complex and multi-layered topic, impacting society as a whole, from individuals in their daily routines to the transportation and supporting infrastructures of global goods and supply chains.  

For our panel discussion, we can therefore only pick out a few points as examples. On the one hand, considerations on future traffic concepts in urban areas will be explained and discussed using the example of London. On the other hand, the question arises of completely new approaches for bridging greater distances in passenger and freight traffic while simultaneously reducing environmental pollution by connecting mobility perspectives with sustainability and the green economy. This will be discussed using the example of the Hyperloop Project and its connection to existing infrastructures.

All these areas also offer interesting fields of work for physicists in the development of the fundamentals of the new techniques and technologies required for this or in the modelling and realization of the process chains.

With Walter Neu as head of the German Hyperloop project, Marcus Ebert as a specialist for infrastructures and Giles Perkins as head of profession and future mobility, we will learn from subject experts from both Germany and Britain, who will give us an insight into these exciting topics and answer questions. The discussion will be moderated by Barbara Lenz, who, as a transport researcher and mobility expert, will also contribute her broad experience to the discussion.
